Marvellous! Does what it says on the tin. I found a great one on Eigg that seemed to be from a hill track. Couldn’t get the share link to work though.

I just got a Badger 2040 on a bit of a whim.
A hackable, programmable badge with E Ink® display, powered by Raspberry Pi RP2040.

Usual enjoyable stuff Rebus retired and sticking his nose in.
My heart is full. Yesterday one of the loves of my life got married. @cmdjohnston & @MTImmonsMusic organised the perfect day for themselves & their guests.
You can use the BBC micro:bit V2 with built-in speaker as a data logger, recording data from its built-in sensors. Data is stored on your micro:bit even when its power source is disconnected.
This looks really interesting. H.T. to @LouiseE_Foreman. The way the data is saved and accessible is very clever.
You can log data from any of the micro:bit inputs; light sensor, temperature sensor, pins, accelerometer, compass, microphone

Listened to & enjoyed Alan’s 2015 talk. He compares WordPress and its approachability, flexibility and extendability with HyperCard. As always interesting & provocative (in the best way). Also HyperCard!
In many instances, WordPress prioritizes accessibility in ways that other CMS’s and open source projects do not. But that doesn’t mean we do things perfectly. In this full-length episode of Press the Issue, Allie Nimmons explores WordPress accessibility from as many angles as she can in order to answer the question – how accessible is WordPress?
WE have been adding some accessibility features to Glow Blogs so I was interested to listen to this podcast. It went further than just web accessibility to discuss accessibility in the WordPress project as a whole, touching on progress & ‘politics’.
